1912 Ocean Bar & Rooftop is located at Cabana Beach Club at Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa, 619 Ponte Vedra Blvd., with complimentary valet only. The restaurant and rooftop are open for dinner and drinks nightly.

The restaurant occupies the second and third floors of an all-new dining venue at the resort’s private Cabana Beach Club and serves as the crowning jewel in the club’s transformation.

Inspired by the city it calls home and the exquisite scenery the venue offers, 1912 Ocean Bar & Rooftop is named after the year in which rich mineral veins were discovered running through the area’s sand dunes, paving the way for growth into the city it is today.
